Thanks June - That is how I found out some of them went to California, through the CA birth and death indexes. What would we do without these indexes on-line? Now if they would put the CA marriage index on there....... I also found a lot of them in the Illinois Marriage Index on-line, and it helped us prove they went to Illinois. Thanks again. - Karen ----- Original Message ----- From: JUNE E FALATKA <jef275@prodigy.net> To: <ILLIVING-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, May 05, 2001 5:43 PM Subject: Re: [ILLIVING] CLOSE family from Emington, Illinois. > You might try to California birth and death index for some of the family > > California birth index and death index > http://userdb.rootsweb.com/ca/birth/search.cgi > http://userdb.rootsweb.com/ca/death/search.cgi > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "K&D Lawrence" <karendon@bcinternet.net> > To: <ILLIVING-L@rootsweb.com> > Sent: Saturday, May 05, 2001 1:49 PM > Subject: [ILLIVING] CLOSE family from Emington, Illinois. > > > > Hi listers - We have found our James CLOSE and Jane BENTLEY and their > family in Emington, Illinois.
